Seeing as Mahavishnu has been mentioned anyway, I just listened to this and thought of the thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hNxW1sRWbE (Narada Michael Walden caning the intro on All In The Family).

Oooh yes, how could I forget Spring Song? And yeah, I remember when I did a guest spot on a college radio show about 13 years ago, that was one of the songs I played, and I had to warn the DJ, "Don't pot up the intro, trust me, when the band comes in, and it'll be loud enough". When I play it on my show now, I typically fade it in a few seconds before the first chordal stab, so as nobody listening goes "What the hell? Why is it so quiet?".
